I didn't really get into this in the video, but are you personally HAPPY with the movie landscape after Iron Man?? I.e. do you think the MCU was a net positive or negative for movies??
@yashsamuel13 күн бұрын
I think MCU till the endgame were trying to do something that has never been done before which was a collection of good movies coming together to make a great finale and the entire world enjoyed it like a festival, but no one likes repetetive and known formulas and after that not just mcu but even in other countries like in Bollywood sooryavanshi tried to copy the formula. I dont think its their fault for trying something new, but rather than doing something more great in movie, they now just hang on by nostalgia. I think the hero arc is itself overdone in books, litrature and movies but mcu being net negative would only be true because of directors and script weiters trying to copy the formula, otherwise it has given us great flims which cannot be denied by anyone and therefore its a net positive from me.
@SkarrGaming13 күн бұрын
It was great up to Endgame and a few films after it, but once they started to introduce all the TV stuff on Disney+ it just became too much and the quality has dropped. They need to slow things down a little and try to get back to being great. They are obviously trying to get back to the good old days by bringing back RDJ and Evans. Let's hope they pull it off.

@thedctr13 күн бұрын
Net positive for sure. For all downsides MCU had on the market, I think if not for them, audience would have never been as fatigued for high budget superhero flicks. It made audience want something different, more experimental and unique. That in itself led us to have such booms as Joker, The Batman and rise of A24 movies.

Right before this video I have watched the "Death of Unicorn" trailer. Last night I watched X-Men Frist Class (2011). It is mind boggling how better that ~2010 CGI looks compared to todays MCU-like productions. Is it better at face value? No, the renders are clearly lower quality, there's less polygons, worse shaders etc etc. But it works. Doesnt pull me out of immersion. I have to make a research and test my hypothesis if shooting on film is of impact here.
@miladsohrabi9511 күн бұрын
@PossiblePasts I'm not an expert but imo 1. it's more about combining CGI with a real life physical reference on set rather than full CG. It at least could with lighting ! Now everything is mocap or green screen. You could clearly see this issue in Infinity war vs Endgame for Iron man too. In infinity war, Robert mostly wore mocap suits. As for Endgame he always had parts of suit on him. 2. The color BLACK is not as deep as it was before! It's an issue so many artists have referred to.

I think a LOT of that comes don't to the sheer size of these modern flicks. They've absolutely surpassed the point of sustainability in regards to post production size. When you have like 30 different VFX companies working on one movie and some of these poor bastards only get like a week to 3 weeks for their chunk it gets REALLY hard to maintain consistency throughout. That's EXACTLY how you end up with stuff like Black Panther where some shots are jaw dropping and then you have that weird parallax in the waterfall fight & the grand finale looking like a video game cut scene.

Counterpoint: there's noticeable good CGI. Case in point, Infinity War and Endgame Thanos. Compared to previous CGI incarnations -- including from the otherwise wonderful Guardians of the Galaxy -- his last two outings were quite amazing, even though it's clearly a computer-generated alien guy mapped onto Josh Brolin's performance. Hell, I'd argue the T-rex from the first Jurassic Park is noticeable good CGI.

Mostly yes, but I think there are a subconscious effects which are relevant. You might not notice the individual CGI elements or shots, but you might get disconnected from the story. This can be due to unrealistic camera moves, unrealistic CGI physics, mismatch between CGI / real lighting, or which many complain about with e.g. the volume is, that the background often doesn't look bad but a bit disconnected. Then there are negative secondary effects from CGI like over reliance leading to worse quality over all or worse acting due to no interaction with the environment.

I like the irony in how game developers had to play catch-up with VFX in film to slowly adopt techniques for rendering that pre-rendered CG pioneered decades prior, but now have technology capable of real-time rendering that allows for innovations in film and VFX that CG's offline rendering never could. Where tools like Unreal Engine once took the concept of using 360-degree images for reflections from how VFX artists would add specular and diffuse lighting from virtual environments onto props and actors, they can now calculate that lighting in real-time and have those virtual environments projected onto massive screens that'll light those props and actors without need for the extra VFX work, which saves VFX artists a lot of time.

7:30 So... You know VR room-scale? If you do - that's what it is. The VR headset position is the cameras point of view in the VR-world. Then you can on top of this use the visuals from the virtual space and project those environments onto the actors in this room-scale room - and then add CGI onto the environment afterwards. What these projections does is that they make the lighting/reflections that comes off the actors that are genuinely being captured by an actual camera sync with the world that is ultimately going to me CGI'd in. That makes this able to (without too much hassle) look a lot more convincing than a classic green-screen. Where the actors are being lit separately from the environment that will be added in later.

There are certain narratives that people keep telling about the film industry that really bother me because they are not true but people keep repeating them like they are. One of those is that Hollywood doesn't make any original content. In particular for this video, it's Disney that are criticised for not making any original content. So I looked up a list of their movies. Here is just 2026 back to 2015: Hoppers, Elio, Wish, Elemental, Strange World, Turning Red, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Encanto, Luca, Raya and the Last Dragon, Soul, Onward, Spies in Disguise, Coco, Moana, Zootropolis, The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out. Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2, Moana 2, Inside Out 2, Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Lightyear, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, Frozen II, Toy Story 4, Ralph Breaks the Internet, The Incredibles 2, Cars 3, Finding Dory. I guess the list I found with a quick search is only their animated content, but it still illustrates the point. 18 original movies to 14 franchise movies in a little over 10 years. They are making plenty of original content and we should be celebrating that content.

Favreau's work has been hit and miss with me. I enjoyed 2005's Zathura but didn't really key into Favreau as a director until Iron Man. I didn't really like the "live action" Jungle Book and have had no desire to watch the remake of Lion King. I enjoy animation and how talented animators can get humor and expression from characters beyond what acutal people and creatures can perform, so the more realistic versions seem to be lesser versions to me. I have been very impressed, though, with some of this other work like Iron Man and the Mandalorian.

I keep seeing people comment that they hated these digital backgrounds and sets and the fact that Andor didn't use them is one of the things that made it so great. So I'm not sure about how successful this tech is.

For the record, Andor did use the volume for some of the sets. So did House of the Dragon, The Batman, The Fabelmans. There’s a bunch of really good productions that use it

The amount of tech and stuff that people straight up invent for the sake of improving the QOL or just quality in general both for actors and the rest of the crew is what allows for great innovative stuff with movies... But then you have those people up top that would rather grab an IP, churn out some low-mid budget slop and try to maximize profit off of the IP's fame/name and in the process killing it. Then reboot it to wring the towel completely dry, and because of this focus on 'safe bets', we don't get anything new or creative either in technique for filming, or interesting writing. Instead we get rebooted shit with straight up "against-the-source-material" woke-ifying just for the sake of being woke, rather than y'know... Them writing some original stuff in which this woke character makes sense or otherwise fits - and is more interesting than the surface DEI, instead of crudely trying to hammer a cube into a slot that has been established, and accepted as a sphere.

10:31 that really looked like they were filming on place until the image moved. Even behind-the camera is convincing

The lion king remake was basically final fantasy;spirits within all over again. Where the people behind the scenes wanted showing off the effects more than telling the story!

I think the MCU was a net positive, but they should have stopped like 10 movies ago (or however many there have been since Endgame). The development of technical aspects in movie making is in great parts thanks to the MCU, but unfortunately it also had the effect that almost everything has to be a franchise now. Older franchises suddenly got new releases (Indiana Jones, Star Wars) or got remakes (Disney classics), which is definiteley more of a negative development. But overall a net positive imo.
